ro rere oner se NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Monday, October 26, 1847. The Battle Fields in the Valley of Mexteo, Our readers will find in this day’s paper, en- graved plans of the battle fields of Chepultepec and Molino del Rey, in which the bravery of our arms was so conspicuous. We have copied them from the New Orleans Picayune and Delta. We received the papers containing them yesterday, in the afternoon, put them in the hands of our engravers immediately, and to-day exact copies of them appear in the Herald. They will aid our readers considerably in attaining correct knowledge of those briltiant engagements. They speak for themselves. The Finances of the General Government Probable Policy of the Treasury Depart- ment. . In about six weeks, the representative branches of the general government will convene at Washington, for au’ indefinite period, for the purpose of taking into consideration the affairs of the nation, and devising ways and means to regulate the affairs of Mexico; to carry on the war, ifnecessary, vigorously, or to establish a form of government in that country the best cal- culated to bring about an orderly and prosperous state of things, out of the confusion and chaos now existing in that section of the world. The first and most important movement to be made in relation to this matter, is the raising of funds to meet all the extraordinary expenditures of the government. This must be done by a new loan, to whatever extent the exigencies of the time require. There is no doubt but that proposals for a six per cent‘loan, for twenty or thirty millions of dol- lars,would at once be taken, upon terms as favor- able as the last loan, and we have no doubt but that bids for a much larger amount than that required immediately, would be of- fered. The ability of the government to raise money is unlimited. The gonly question at present unsettled is, in what way can it be raised upon the most favorable terms, and the vacuum made by the withdrawal of a large amount of capital from different employ- ments, filled to the best advantage, and to ad- vance the best interestsfof the country? The issue of Treasury notes, so far, has worked well, and we know of no way of raising such large amounts of money, better than the last adopted by the Secretary of the Treasury. That system has been practically demonstrated, and not found wanting in any respect, so far as availability is concerned; and we can suggest only one im- provement, and that is, a reduction in the denom ination of these Treasury notes, which would convert them into a more available circulating medium, and give the country a currency other than based upon gold and silver. The Treasury notes of the denomination authorised by the last act, cannot go be- low par in the market, in consequence of the demand that must exist for them to carry on the commerce of the country, in regulating exchanges between different sections of the Union, for payment into the cus- tom house for duties, and for all payments to the government, where specie would otherwise be required. These uses for these notes, will always keep them at par, or at a slight premium; but if the denominations were reduced, if there were in circulation fifties and hundreds, instead of five hundreds, how much more convenient for all the purposes of business, and how much more advantageous to the government in raising money upon them! We cannot conceive what objections can be raised to such a financial sys- tem. ‘These{denominations of Treasury notes cann be such a stumbling block as many hard mond advocates would make it appear. There would never be a wish on the part of the holders of these Notes to panva=ssle~m intn mmanie.andeyen jin the event of such athing happening, it could always ‘The Mexican WaraIte Influence Abroad—its Benefit tothe United States. Although to many it may appear paradoxical or absurd, at first sight, we think it is demonstra- ble, that irrespective of the territory we may ac- quire, or any other benefit we may receive when a treaty of peace between the United Statea and Mexico shall be made, the United States will derive vast and permanent advanta- ges from the war with that country. This may be doubted, but its truth can be easily proved— as, also ,that the commonly received axiom that war is at all times an evil, will not apply to our present struggle. It has been felt by every statesman of England and the United States, that a war between those countries was inevitable, sooner or later—inevi. table, from the forms of their respective govern- ments. On several occasions within the last few years, the two countries were on the verge of hosti- lities, and nothing but mutual concession avert- ed the crisis. On the last, we mean the Oregon dispute, it was averted by statesmanship and the forbearance of bot;h but the teeling—the mind which impelled the two countries to a point, ap- proximating very close to hostilities, at that, as well as other times—still exists as strong’as ever, albeit, by the one it may not be exhibited soforcibly as ithasbeen. It may be asked what are the rea- sons that would influence countries so intimate- ly connected as England and the United States are, by their common origin—by common lan- guage, religion and laws, to engage in hostilities? To this it may be answered that political prin- ciple is the cause—divided into monarchy and democracy. These are the elements which have produced the feeling we speak of. Being com- pletely antagonistic, they can no more exist together, and flourish, than can fire and water. The one wili triumph, and the other must fall. For centuries the monarchical principle has been unmolested; but like all institutions not built on a solid foundation, it must sooner or later fall, its place to be filled by democracy. Monarchy in England might last for centuries yet, if the United States were not in existence. Self government is no longer a theory—it has become a fixed and undeniable fact; and he who denies its practicability, is either wilfully blind to what he sees around him, or wofully ignorant. The statesmen of England know this—it is undeniable; for the fact stares them in the face; and on their part, the natural instinct of self-preservation impels them to be hostile to the United States, and to seek out every opportunity of injuring us. When it was not their policy to cone to blows, they maligned and slandered us through their press. Articles the most false and offensive, have successively appeared in the organsof the government, which libelled and villified our institutions—our man- ners—our ccstoms; in fact, every thing American. To such an extent was this system of national slander carried, that we verily think the authors themselves believed in what they wrote, as a liar, by repeating a lie, will eventually be- lieve it to be truth. Since this war com- menced, defeat and disgrace to our arms have been predicted at every step we made. Time, however, proved their falsity. Instead of bein disgraced and humiliated, we stand on the sum- mit of the pinacle of fame. With a handful of men, we have completely conquered a nation as large as the greater part of Europe. We have followed the enemy a distance of two or three thousand miles, captured his garrisons and his walled cities, and finally possessed ourselves of his very capital, after achieving a series of vic- tories, with tremendous odds opposed to us, un- precedented in the history of the world. Chris- tendom is amazed at our prowess in the field— we are amazed ourselves. This war proves, that although we are unac- customed to war, we have a greater amount of materiel and resources for carrying it on, than our ill-wishers ever dreamtof. With an army in the field. for fifteen montha or mora, tithe only of our strength has been brought into requi- be done for at least the face of them. They would be much better than any bank bill for daily use in trade; they would be better secured than any bank bill in the country, and they would be- come so generally circulated, that many of them would never be seen again—never be pre- sented for payment. They would be so much sought for, that a nominal rate of interest would suffice, and a large amount of money could be raised in this way, ata rate of interest full two per cent less than in any other way. ‘Tae Derarrvure oF Tux Frencn Ocean Steam- ER Missovri.—This steamship sailed yesterday at 120’clock. When fopposite the Battery she fired a salute. The Missouri has on board forty-three passen- gers, among whom are M. Le Marquis de Raige- court, the president of the council of administra- tion of the French transatlantic steamers, and some members of his family. Her cargo is very lJarge—it consists of 350 bales cotton, 20,000 lbs. whalebone; 20 tons copper, and several packages of merchandise, samples, &c.; among which we remarked a very large cheese, sent by an Ameri- can to his Majesty Louis Philippe. The mail of the Missouri is also very large. M. de Rouville, the royal mail agent, assured us that he had about twenty thousand letters and newspapers. Beside all this, the Missouri carries to France a million of tranes in specie. This steamship goes direct to Havre, where the docks are ready for her reception. She will probably reach there in about fifteen days. The Philadelphia, now due, will proceed to the new wharf of the company, pier No. 4 North River, which dock has been permanently en- geged for this line. INTELLIGENCE FROM Sovrn AmeRica.—We are in receipt of files of the Rio Janeiro paper, Jor- nail do Comercio, to the 8th ult. Advices from Montevideo to the 23d, and Buenos Ayres to the 20th August, had been received at Rio. The greatest tranquillity reigned inMontevideo, and the energetic proceedings of the new minis- try there were restoring confidence. In Buenos Ayres it was said that the House of Representa- tives were about to assemble to consider Rosas’ conduct in regard tothe foreign intervention. ‘There was considerable excitement in the place in consequence of rumors that Rosas intended to close his perts completely, and from his supposed antentions towards Corrientes and Entre Rios. No positive news had been received from these two provinces; the only thing known with cer- tainty was, that General Urquiza remained per- fectly tranquil in Corrientes. Baavtirvt SrgectacLte.—A very beautiful spec- tacle was witnessed yesterday in the bay, by those who had the good fortune to be on the Bat- tery. The prevalence of an Easterly wind for three or four days past, detained several square rigged vessels destined to all parts of the world, from proceeding to sea, but in the forenoon the vane pointed to the westward, and blew a nice breeze, which was eagerly taken advantage of by the mariners. The scene resembled a re- gatta on a large scale, and drew forth admiration from all who beheld it ‘Tue Herkimer Convention.—We expect there will be some fun and a good deal ot excitement at this convention. It is to meet at one o’clock | this afternoon. We have despatched a special reporter to report its proceedings for the Herald. sition, and our agriculture, mechanic arts, and commerce, prosper as highly as ever. We pre- sent an anomaly in the history of nations; for while we are carrying on a war in a foreign country, the expenses of which are paid in spe- cie, there is a continual import of the precious metals into our government coffers. It proves conclusively that the calculations of England and English statesmen, ot our weakness and im- becility, were erroneous. We have furnished them, as well asthe rest of the world, proof strong as holy writ, that if we are great in peace, we are great too in war, and as abundantly able to punish an enemy as we are to feed the hungry. With such palpable evidence of this before their eyes, will the statesmen of England dare to provoke us, or will they wantonly attack us? We think not; andgon this account, we"say the war with Mexico will benefit the United States. It will have the effect of staving off, for an in- definite time the contest between monarchy and democracy, which, to all appearances, was, a few years ago, so near athand. Jt will save us from a war which, even if we should be as successful as we could desire, would cause us more injury than fifty years would repair, al- though our recuperative powers are greater than those of any other count No fear of war be- tween us and England, therefore, may be enter- tained for a long time to come; but when the time shall come, as come it will, we will have acquired such additional strength and power as will place us in a position of perfect security. Again, the signs of the times point to a general European war at no distant time. Our com- mercial relations are so intimate with all the countries of the old world, that in a war of that kind we would find it difficult to escape being drawn into it, were not all parties aware of our strength and resources. We have given them proof of our capability to take care of ourselves, and convinced them that we are not to be tres- passed upon with impunity. We shall, there- fore, be respected and feared by all, and can choose the course we may think proper. On the whole, then, we give it as our opinion that the war with Mexico will be of permanent benefit to the United States—that it will make us be acknowledged as a great and powerful peo- ples who are possessed of resources unequalled al ‘any other country, and who are abundantly ble to command réspect and obtain redress for its grievances. vr om B. ‘Ville, of the 3d h Perjury. — Officer B.

L—Trorrino.—Notwith- standing the disagreeable state of the morning yesterday, consequent upon the rain of Sunday, at an early hour the farmers of Long Island were alive with anxiety to reach the Centreville course in time to witness the trot- ting match to take place there, between the Almack ‘and Napoleon stallions, which was for $900—three mile heats,in harness. This match has been the absorbing topic of conversation for several weeks in Kings, Queens, and Suffolk counties; and everything had been overlook- ed—pigs, poultry, politicians and preachers—in the ex- citement attendant on the occasion. Men were congre- gated on the track, soon after noon, who had driven their nags forty miles, and numbers of others who had come by railroad nearly twice that distance; in fact, there was not # tewn on Long Island, from Brooklyn to Montauk Point,that did not send in representatives to witness the sport. The; betting was limited, and of the usual Long Island country character—very animated and spirited—but dimes predominated over dollars. ‘The stallions showed extremely well, and were striking- ly beautiful in appearance—large, noble, finely formed, and of gallant bearing. ‘The Napoleon horse, Washing- ton, was tho favorite, at five to two; but neither was s0 fast’ a trotter as had been previously supposed. They fare descended from the best stock in the land, anda high estimate is placed on their progeny. First Heat —T up finely together for ra slow pace. Almack turn, and held it throughout the first and second miles; when near the first quarter ou the third mile Washington took sides with him. and they went with their heads together down the back stretch; where the Almack broke up, and Washingt:n went in front and succeeded in maintai ing the lend to the end, winning by fifty yards, in 9:48, Almack having broken a second time at the draw gate. Second Heat.—The start for this heat was even. At the quarter pole Washington was about a length in front of Almack ; and at the half mile pole he was fifty yards, the latter having broken up badly about half way down the back stretoh. Almack was urged round the lower turn and up the home stretch to the score, and he was close up with Washington as he passed that place. Time, 3:23. The horses kept close together during the nest mile, both going steady, though slowly. ‘The second mile was trotted in 3:19. Almack broke on the upper turn, and fell off four or five lengths, caused by an error of judgment on the part of his driver, who forced the horse too much at that place; whereas, had he fallen tn behind Washington and made his brush on the back stretch, he would have won the heat beyond # doubt. Washington won the race in 9:52. ‘Taottina Mate, No. 2.—This was for heats, in harness, between ch. g. Mingo Pendergrast. Mingo was the favorite previous to the start; but after the first heat, Pendergrast rone in the estimation of the spectators, and small sums were wa- gered on him. First Heat-—Mingo took the lead, and at the quarter pole he was a length in front of the stallion, and a trifle more at the half mile pole. From there to the soore the struggle was fine, particularly from the three-quarter je. It was neck and neck race to the stand; and endergrast succeeded in placing his neck in front of Mingo, winning the heat in 2 5634. Second Heat.—This heat was very similag to the pre- ceding one—Mingo leading until near the three-quarter le. From there to the stand, the contest was anima- Red--side and side—and the heat was won as before, by Pendergrast, by a neck only, in 2.54. $200, mile db. h. W. ‘Theatrical and Musical. Panx—Music has greatly advancedas a science in this country, and when it bears the genuine stamp of excel- lence, it is with us the most attractive of all amuse- ments. It always will be cultivated and fostered in pro- portion to the advancement of wealth and olvilization; and it {s one of the advantageous results from an extend- ed commerce, that it opens to us ao refined and elevated an enjoyment. The standard of public taste is raised by the frequent listening tothe fine models presented to us, and our audiences are becoming most fastidious and difficult to please. We can, and do, command the high- est talent, and we will tolerate no other. In no coun- try are artists better paid, except, perhaps, in the metro- politan houses at Paris and London, and the time is not far distant when, with the growth of wealth, and th vanced state of taste and science among us, we emulate the fame, and rival the excellence of those great establishments. The manager of this house has given us agreat treat in the operas he has lately produced. Science in vocal musie has never had on our boards a nobler representative than Madame Bishop; none in whom were united the great qualities of a vocalist and an actress. Her ‘‘ Norma” last night was one of the reatest vocal triumphs we ever listened to, and her “Somnambula,”’ to be given thi ‘ing, is worthy of ince writing the above, we perceive that atria,” from “ Tancredi,” so enthusias- tically received during her late engagement.

Bowray Tueatar.—We had the pleasure last evening of witnessing a part of the new grand drama, which has been in preparation for a long time past at the Bowery Theatre, entitled the ‘ Sea King’s Vow, or the Female Liberty Chief.” It is produced on the stage with new costumes and scenery, and is, with the exception of the piece which has been withdrawn to make room for it, the most interesting drama that we have seen on this stage fnw sometime Anwa expected to find it, the house was extremely full on the occasion, and we are prepared to see it as full every night of the repetition of the new pleco, It will be played again this evening, with the comedy of a“ Wite’s First Lesson,” and that of “ Cro ing the Line, or the Dutch Brothers.” CuatHam Trratae.—Miss Vallee and Mr. De Bar were honored with a very large audience last evenieg, at the Chatham Theatre, and they were every way deserv- ing of the compliment. We never saw them to better advantage —Miss Vallee particularly. This young lady has attained an elevation in her profession which tnables her to fill any house in which she may be engaged. As the Drunken Corporal and the Dumb Girl of Genoa, both she and Mr. De Bar were very happy. The bill of last eveni ng will be repeated to-night. For the information of such as did not nee it last evening, we may say that it prises thi Dumb Girl of Genoa,” the pallet of jpirit of the Fountain,” and the do- mestic drama, the “Mill of Ryland,” with several dances by Miss Valle Cincus—Bowery AmpuitHeatae.—The equestrian performances which Mr. Tryon brings forward at bis circus every evening, are of the highest order, and from the extensive patronage he enjoys from the public, he is always enabled to keep the best talent in the country around him. We do not hesitate to say that a better regulated and managed circus has never before existed in New York. Family parties may be sure of enjoying themselves here, as the performances are all perfectly void of vulgarity or coarseness. © ge Shaksperian clown, Dan Rice, and M. Casimir, the French drummer, mdid equestrian feats in the ring, are the features in tl evening’s bill. Erniorian Senewapens,—To a person who is an ob- server of human nature, it is really quite an event to at- tend one of the soirées of these witty sons of song. The audience seem so thoroughly to enter into the enjoy- ment of the thing—here you will see agrave lawyer who, having left bis suits and pleas at his office, sits, to use a homely phrase, “tickled to death” by Pell and Germon’s witticl There a wise doctor who haa left his pa- tients to themselves, and is himself taking a “ black draught” composed of materials not mentioned in the pbarmacopeia, viz : “ Lucy Neal’ or “ Picayune Butler,”” or “ Mary Blane,” or some of Harrington’s favorite airs; and in some quiet corner, perhaps, may be seen some reverend gentleman who thinks it not beneath his cloth to partake of @ little innocent amusement. So it is. The Ethiopian Serenaders, by their highly finished and delightful singing, attract’ most respectable and over- flow! ing audiences, and long may they continue to do #0. To-night they have an excelient bill. Cuarsry’s Minstarirs.—Among the multitude of at- tractions which aro now spread before the people of this city, none seem to fare better than this band of songsters. They have oreated a perfect furore among the convert going many, and from the nature of their performances they do not offend the prejudices of those who are oon- scientiously opposed to every thing theatrical. In asnug room where excellent order is observed by the intelligent audiences, it is really delightful to pass an evening lis- tening to the ever favorite negro songs which Christy's band render so well. To-night they give, as usual, an admirable programme. Ma, Demrsten's Concenr.—It must not be forgotten that Mr. D. will give another of hia delightful soirées to- morrow evening, at the Tabernacle. His programme includes many of his most favorite pieces, not forgetting his glorious ntata, the “May Queen.” Mr D. is so New Yorkers, both as a performer and a ave no doubt he will have # full house. He fully deserves one.

Janvis then rose and said) that the committee on canons had instructed him to lay before the house two yery important subjects, one of which might probably tend to bring about the of the diocese of New York. He then submitted canon in favor of suffragan bishops, and moved that the House of Bishops be request- ed to appoint a joint committee on said canon, and if they concur, that the committee on canons be that com- mittee on the part of this house Mr. Coxston was opposed to the introduction of canons which proposed to intgoduce the question of suffragan bishops. It was anentirely ‘new principle, and would occupy more time in discussion than the house had to spare at this late period of the session. He there- fore moved that the subject be laid on the table. After some further remarks,the motion was withdrawn and toe canon was read by Mr. Evans, who was under- stood to have drawn it up. Rey. Dr, Hawxs said that this canon would dispense entirely with assistant bishops. He had always believed that suffragan bishops.were preferable. ‘The canon had been prepared by the committee with great care. He approved entirely with the main object of the canon; hoped the resolution to refer it toa committee woul 88 Pivir. Conston was still opposed to having this measure brought in for final ection so near the close of the ses- sion, when they were wearied out with important busi- ness, He should prefer that it be laid over to the next session Dr. Hawxs could see nothing to be gained by laying itover. If the house were disposed to lay it over, how- ever, he had nothing to say Rev Dr. Brooke suggested that the discussion was outof order, and that the resolution to curtail debate took precedeace ‘The Cuain concurred in this view, but said that the strict rule of order had been waived to admit the report of the committee on canons, ‘The Secuetaxy moved to lay on the table the un- finished business of Saturday,to take up the report of the committee on canons, which being carried, the reso- lution to appoint @ joint committee was passed. Rev. Dr. Janvis then reported further, that the com- mittee considered the canon which they had report would heal the existing difficulties of the diocese of York, ‘They further reported a resolution, stating tha it was inexpedient to make the numerous changes which had been proposed in @ great number of canons. On motion of the Sxcxerany, the resolution was laid on the table for the present, in order to take up the un- finished business of Saturday. Hon, Mr. Huntinaton, of Connecticut, then moved to take up the unfinished business, so far as regarded the time of taking the final vote on the resolutions of the diocese of New York. He explained the question to be his own motion to take the final vote at2 o'clock to-day, amended by the motion of Mr. Craik, of Kentucky, to limit each speaker to half an hour. = Rev. Dr. Brooxe hoped the resolution would not pre- vail. ‘Though he did not propose to speak on th ject himself, there were others who did, and he felt de. jirousto hear them, and to have the subject fully and amply discussed, He felt the importance of bringing the convention to a close. Some of the clergy were en- joying the expensive hospitality of the hotels, and were likely to have thelr pockets exhausted; and they were very desirous to be relieved from their “anomalous posi- tion.” [Laughter.] He felt the weight of this and other considerations, in favor of bringing their deliberations toa close as soon as possible. But he also felt deeply the importance of the subject before the the house, and was willing to make some sacrifice to bring it to a satis- factory close. ‘They of the clergy had an oppor unity to preach to the laity,twice a week, but the laity an oppor- tunity to, preach to them only once in three reas: He hoped their common sense views might be heard. He hoped the motion of the gentleman from Connecticut would not prevail. Rev. Mr. Gniswo1d conceived that the gentleman had mentioned some of the most important reasons for limiting the debates. It was true that the clergy had an opportunity to preach to the laity twice a week, and he, for one, should be glad to listen to the la:ty on this occasion ; but he hoped the gentleman would remember that if their sermons exceeded half an hour they were generally considered pretty tedious.—[Renewed laugh- ter } Mr. Hupson moved that the questions on taking the final vote, and limiting the speakers , be divided, and added a few remarks. Mr. Memincer would suggest to the gentleman, whether it would not be better to amend the resolution to 12 o’clook to-day. Mr. Huntixaton was willing to make it 9 o'clock to-1 it. pei Jonxs hoped the resolution would not prevail. It was no argument to contend that gentlemen were obliged to go home. It was their duty to remain in convention until the business was fi1 ed, and they should make provision repeater Gl Mr. GaLtacuer moved to lay the motion, to take the question at 9 o’clock to-night, on the table. ‘A division of the house being demanded, the question was carried, 57 to 56. A message was here received from the House of Bi- shops, stating that they concurred in confirming the nominations of the Trustees of the General Theological Seminary, as ma several dioceses. ‘The motion to take the final vote at twelve o'clock to-morrow, was then renewed, put and carried. Rev. Mr. Vait. then pro; ‘a new canon, empower- ing the convention ofthe diocese of New York to elect a bishop from their diocese, to have jurisdiction as long ‘as the sentence of suspension should continue in force, and providing that if the bishop should be restored, th relative jurisdiction of the two bishops should be decid- ed by the House of Bishops. on motion, the proposition was laid on the table, and the Rey. Dr. Mason, of North Carolina, addressed the house. The question was whether the act of suspension which had passed, necessarily vacated jurisdiction. He thought it did not; he then proceeded to review the r marks of the gentleman from Lor a (Dr. wks.) First, with regard to perpetual suspension, there could be no doubt that the testimony which \dduced proy- ed that perpetual suspension was the same as deposition. The Rey. gentleman from New Jersey (Dr. Ogilby) brought forward testimony ofa contrary nature. Doc- tors disagreed. He was inclined, however, to take the authorities of the Rev. gentleman from Louisiana, aud proceeded to give his reasons for so doing. Though his learned friend from Louisiana had erected a noble st: ture, he did not say that it was built upon the sand, that he himself would be the first to put the crowbar under it and tear it down. Yet, in the course of his remarks he did #0. He de- stroyed his own argument as regarded the diffe- rence between perpetual suspension and degradation. Dr. M. maintained that in many cases the suspension must be indefinite. He argued that indefinite suspen- sion did not vacate jurisdiction. Temporary suspension could not take away jurisdiction, as some gentlemen had admitted, and as all must admit. The bishop's own act, as he illustrated, might take him away from the ex- ercise of his jurisdiction, and yet not take itaway. He did not know, nor did he remember a single example in the whole history of the Church of Christ, in which limited suspension or even indefinite suspension, did des- troy jurisdiction. ‘They bad many examples—some of which gentlemen had cited to thecontrary. His reverend brother had argued, that in the case of Lord Keeper Williams, the jurisdiction reverted first to the said arch- bishop, and thence to the king. Would the reverend gentleman, or any one on that floor, contend that juris- diction was derived solely from the secular power’ He was surprised tohear such language used. {The hour of twelve having having arrived, the chair announced the order of the day—the election of trus- tees for the General Theological Seminary. On motion, the order was suspended, to allow the Rev. Doctor to conclude his ar Dr. Mason proceeded to state his views on the ques- tion of jurisdiction. The command of the Saviour, “Go ye into all the world,” &c., he said, was not given to the laity, but to the clergy; so that the clergy, the apostles alone, had power to confer jurisdiction. Now im the case of the apostles, jurisdiction was not at first limited. ‘They preached aa ‘missionaries wherever they had an opportunity ; but they soon found it necessa: to make some arrangement among themselves by whic! their labors might be divided geographically, and such an arrangement was made, one preaching to the ciroum- ciged and the other to the uncircumsed, &c. He pro- cetded to show how local jurisdictions arose in tl period of the church. He then reviewed th of various speakers, and said he must conclu suspension, as used in the eentence, did not mean per- petual suspension. He argued from a consideration of the history of the church and from analogies drawn from military and naval life, that indefinite suspension, carried to its utmost extent, did not destroy jurisdiction. ‘Tho house, he insisted, should be guided by correct prin- ciple, and endeavor to do that which was right. That which was right would always be found to be most ex- pedient. They had better do nothing than do wrong He arguea in favor of the purity of the church and of the bench of bishops in particular, from the consideration that they had erred in regard to the sentence of the bishop because they had no prece- dent of the kind No such case had ever before oc- curred, The church in this country had been kept pure. He hoped they would now make provision which would effectually guard against such diffioul- Ues in future. The diocese of New York were, it was true, enveloped in a dark cloud of difficulties; but it was owing to no crime on the part of the house of bishops; it was pepe! od owing to asin of ignorance. Let them, as did the ancient Jews, offer up the secrifice of their pray- ers and humble entreaties, and they might confidently look for ahappy result Hon J R Incensow on addressed the house in sup- port of the two canons which he had offered. It was no objectien to the course proposed that the diocese was divided UWnanimity should not be expected In popular elections, and this wasof the same nature, una nimity was not to be expected. It was seldom at- tained. The two canons which he had proposed, pre- sented the two alternatives—the restoration of the bishop, or the election of # new diocesan. (Mr 1 here quoted Gibson on the question of jurisdiction.) One would think, he said, that there could not be lan- guage stronger than that of the sentence of the court itself. He would show that it wae all conprehensiv ag to deprive the bishop of all—all the functions o bishop. Permit him to say, however, that it was not ne- ceasary to prove a vacancy before they proceeded to vote Je argued that the ancient church made provision for # restoration in the case of deposition even. Their ca- non (the 34th of 1832) did not so provide. Hecontended that the sentences found upon the bishops of Pennsyl- vania and New York were identical. Then, according to the argttments of gentlemen, some legislation must be had in regard to the bishop of Pennsylvania. Mr. 1 here quoted Ayliff, page 207, which said that removal from office or benifice was “® perpetual deprivation ” Further quotations showed, as other gentlemen had done, Chat suspension was equivalent to degradation in some cases. The bond between the bishop and the diocese was not broken in such a way that he might not by some porsi- bility, be restored at some future time. He could not agree with the gentleman who had called upon them to fold their arms and do nothing. They were bound to act. There was no excuse for inaction. It was their solemn duty to decide the question. The diocese of New York called upon them to act. Whether t tion be unapimous or not, it would be right if it pro- ceeded from preety motives, and would receive the sanc- tion of the great Head ofthe Church, They must di cide whether they should abide by the striot letter \idelpling, o¥ take mova) principles fer thele guide, He | there was no need of legislation of this trusted bee Ay od not imitate the precedent of ‘on- stantine, declared, that if he found bishop guilt; of the foulest stain, he would throw ‘over him the o— ne. the imperial purple. The power of Constantine gone by. Rev. Dr. Coste then rose to speak, but the the Chair decided in favor of wv, of Western New York. yielded with some reluctance, and Mr. Hupsow proceeded. He had listened with pro- found attention to the argument which had been put forth; and inasmuch as the subject had undergone a Jocteacten, andabie debate, he should not speak to fal 01 Il an extent as he had at first contemplated. T! house had 2 id aside gil the propositions which had been laid before them, and concluded to discuss the question whether the diocese was vacant or not. To that ques- tion he proposed to direct his remarks. He contended that the diocese was both absolutely and virtually va- cant, or else it was vacant in neither sense, Gentlemen had disentombed wild theories and vagaries which had slept for fourteen hundred years. He did not intend to imitate their example. He believed that their own ca- nons made ample provision for the case. The gentle- man from Louisiana said that if the bishop was to re- sume his duties in the diocese, he would immediately be brought up for contumacy, and be immediately deposed; ‘and 60 (argued Mr. H J he gave up his whole argume (Sensation.) An f° had ed that standing committee done an act which was unlaw- ful by procuring assistant episcopal service, while they at the same time time declared that the diocese was not vacant. He did not ee to the opinion at all. Ifthey ad done an unlawful act, why not bring them up for trial at once? These considerations, and others which he named, had led him to believe that there was no va- cancy; and if there was no vacancy, it was admitted on all hands that they could not proceed te an election. Bot as tothe diocesan of New York, he believed that the best course would be to pass the canons which had been recommended, and leave the diocese to act as thi might -see fit under their canons. He believe that if the bishops lived up to the sentiments whioh they professed, to fear God and love mercy, they would relieve the diocese fiom their difficulties. He then proceeded to quote the opinions of various bishops, given at the time of the trial of Bishop Onderdouk—coucurring in the view that suspension would not dissolve the bond of union which existed be- tween the bishop and his diocese, although it might de- prive him of the power of exercising the duties of the of- fice, Gentlemen had referred to the case of the bishop as guilty of crime. He had never been convicted of crime, he sentence said nothing about crime. Why then attempt to make it appear that he had committed crime? To return to the iment. They had the opi- nion of four bishops that the diocese was not vacant. ‘Again, the whole House of Bishops had just declared their opinion of the sentence, by the recent adoption of the canon, which coincided with his. views. He conceiy- ed that the church had brought reproach Ly oe herself, by the course of events which had bese phe since the sentence of suspension was pronounced upon Bishop Onderdonk. Greater liberties had been taken with the clergy since that period. It was his judgment that every protracted discussion, like that which they were then engaged in, would aggravate these evils He hoped, therefore, that all undue excitement would be avoided, and that,rather than bring reproach upon the church, they would yield their prejudices to the common good. It being past 3 o’clock, on motion, the house took a re- cess till7 o'clock. Evening Session. On reassembling at 7 o’clock, the president took the chair, and called the convention to order. The house proceeded to the order of the evening, being the election of a committee on the part of the house, to act with a committee of the House of Bishops in nominating a Board of Missions. Rev. Dr. Van Incen and Mr. Coutins were appointed tellers, and the ballotting having been concluded, the tellers retired. On motion, the debate was then proceeded with. Mr. Memoincer then addressed the house. fe hada hope that there were @ sufficient number among them that would be gov: by reason up to the time of giv- ing their votes. had not a doubt but that there were many men now him, who were anxious to act in conformity with the truth. He confessed that he looked upon this question in @ different aspect from that in which it had been viewed by most of the speakers. He was induced to aak for what purpose were bishops created. Wor what bad they come together in conven- tion? To divide the loaves and fishes? No. He came believing that he came toa convention of the Church of God. He came to build it up. It was to this church their councils were directed. Were they to divide the word? Were they to say that they had a right to deny any one portion of that over which he had made them the guardians? Here were thousands around them famishing for the bread of life, while they were con- tending about the interests of on owas 8 friend to Episcopalianism ; but he regarded the interests of the whole. While this question had been agitated in the diocese, how many souls, he asked, had been called to appear before their.God’ And yet they talked of being Episcopalians. Any one who undertoo! to say that any diocese should not have a bishop did not do duty—did not obey the commandments. He held that men had inalienable rights, and spiritual rights were as inalienable as civil rights; civil institu. tions stood upon the same foundaticn as spiritual. He could show if he had time, that in the om of the Episcopal church was the seed from which germinated all representative governments. If gentlemen would ex- amide the history of the Episcopal church they would find the principles of civil government. He maintained then, in limine, that the church had no right to refuss the diocese of New York a bishop. Had New Yorks bishop? If she bad a bishop, she was not destitute of a Dishop. Ifit be true that she was not destitute, then the constitution declared that they should send no bish- op toher. ‘Take the other horn of the dilemma—admit that she was destitute of a bishop—then she was entitled to one; and it was the duty of the church to supply one. Gentlemen said they intended to supply one.— How? By « provisional bishop? The people of New York had as good right to a bishop as any other State. Why, then, put them off with a provi- sional bishop? Why offer them the occasional tervices of a bishop of another diocese? | But in ‘The canon provided for a provisional bishop, in case of destitution. Why then make a canon? hat would be said of them then if they should make a canon? It would be said they were convinced that there was no need of a new canon; but they wanted to restore the bishop. Now he did not wish such an impression to go abroad. He did not believe there were ten men there who desired the restoration of the erg How could they restore the bishop, till he contessed his sins and re- pented of them? The church was convinced of his guilt, ‘and had passed sentence accordingly. How then could they who preached from Sabbath to Sabbath that there was no mercy, except by penitence and through Christ, restore him to the church before he gave evidence of penitence? He hoped they would maintain the puricy fthechurch The only remnant of divine purity left with this fallen race, was bound up in the female heart He hoped the church then would take all proper means to protect this female purity. The Bishop of New York had been convicted of certain crimes. Mr. Hupsow desired to correct the gentleman; the bishop had not been convicted of any crime. $@The Crain called the gentleman to order. The guilt or innocence of the Bishop of New York had nothing to do with the question before them; and, therefore, any reference to this point was out ef order, Mr. Memmincen stood corrected. The bishop had been guilty of certain immoralities, and was suspended. ‘The diocese was deprived of his services. They were bound, then, to make some provision. Now, what was a bishop? A bishop embraced three different things—his order —his office—and his territory When the aposties were called together to elect bishop in the place of Ju- das Iscariot, the; pointed one; but had he any local jurisdiction? fo. But this arrangement was found to ¢ very inconvenient, and the bishops were subsequent- ly appointed over certain dioceses. office of a bishop, and his special jurisdiction, were one thing—the locai jurisdiction anether—the arrangement of the church, and not a divine arrangement. A man might be a bishop at large, without having any territorial ju- risdiction. A bishop must be admitted to the House of Bishops, before he should be a ruler in Ierael, or have any power in the church. Whenever any form of govern- ment _ to any body of men exclusive rights, tacit conditions were always annexed to those rights. He quoted Bishop Hobart, to show the republican form of the government of the Episcopal Church. They need not have recourse, then, to civil analogies. The Church was the parent of republicanism. as he had before stated, and possessed within herself all necessary principles ‘The canon said, that when a bishop was elected to the House of Bishops, he should be eligible to the office of diocesan bishop— making it evident that a dives bishop had some power which a general bishop had not. But when Bishop Onderdonk was suspended. why could not the diocese proceed to elect uno- ther bishop? Why, gentlemen contended that he ‘was subject to a restoration. Now, he contended, that this was a matter of contract. The jurisdiction of the bishop was a subject of contract. Now he believed that the diosese had a right to any to the bishop that he had violated his contract, and, therefore, that they had power to elect another bishop. Gentlemen confounded things when they talked of benefices. They had no- thing to do with benefices ‘Their province was to le gislate with regard to spiritual affairs, not temporal The doctrine for which he contended, was laid down by one of the greatest jurista which they bad ever lived Justice Stowell had declarey in the Supreme Court, that the parties to # contract should perform the conui- tions of the contract. And if they refused to conform to those conditions, it was lawful to take back the char- ter. The principle was recognized in all civil proceed- ings. In conformity with this principle, it the bishop had violated the conditions of his contract, those who put him in office had aright to put him «ut. To turn to another point,he was su prised that gentlemen shoulu contend that suspension and degradation were identical Degradation left no hope; suspension was a spes recupe- randi. He should suppose th t the very first page of tbe Bible would teach them the immense differen the terms; Adam fell from the good estate ii ‘was created; but there was a hope left. They were all the human race, in @ state of suspension, But they were not degraded, for U hope of resturation held ‘out by the crossof Christ. Now the bishopof the diocese of New York was sus, jed from all office in the chureb of God. Being thus suspended, the right of the diocese interfered After seme further remarks elucidati an he said the proposition of the gent! 2 covered the whole ground, and did justice to all con- cerned. Th House of one canon which he pro ‘d, gave the ops power to restore a bishop; the other the diocese power to elect # bishop. The of- ishop was that of a servant; his business was to feed his people with the bread of life. He desired gen- tlemen to Keep before them the great leading doctrines which the Saviour had laid down, and they would be sale right, ‘The bishop was made for his offee, and his offica was hiv duty, ‘and not his right; and if he could not discharge his duty, put him out, said he. He was for law and order, and would not have a whole diocese kept without @ bishop, out of sympatby for a suspended bishop. In all cases of legislation they had to treat things aa they found them; if they had two evils before them they had to choose the least; they must favor the innocent. Let bim conjure the house not to separate without affording some relief to the diocese of N. York ‘The resolution of the gentleman from Pa, he repeated, did give reliaf to all porties. If they could not agree to that, he doubted whether they would be able to agro: upon foe bee A He hoped gentiemen would not allow rat sympathy for the bishop to do injustice to the 108086, ‘The tellers thon tod the reault of the election for the missionary committee, Mt the Nerey, 96 diocesane had voted, making 14 necessary to a choice.

The word susj had never been used except with a limitation, except in certain few cases occurring in the middle ages, and re ferred to by his brother from Leuisiana. He would add a few words, with regard to jurisdiction. After again stating his view of tho subject, he seid the jurisdiction of « bishop was of far more importance than that of a rector, though the latter was entitled to much greater consideration than was generally given. He wished to be considered as the representative of no party; be had blamed New York when he thought she deserved it; he justified her whenever her conduct entitled her to it.
